BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Note this doesn’t copy as per your script BlackBoard.jar into /home/user name/ blackboard/dist /lib

Your instructions say to run issue this command
java -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true -jar dist/lib/BlackBoard.jar presuming you are of course in the correct directory

As per your instructions which are as follows

Installing under Unixoides (Linux, BSD, MacOS)

Fisrt of all unzip the archive

then copy the needed files

$ cp -R models/ ~/.BlackBoard
$ cp -R symbols/ ~/.BlackBoard
$ cp -R samples/ ~/.BlackBoard
$ cp -R parts/ ~/.BlackBoard
$ cp -R datasheets/ ~/.BlackBoard
$ cp -R simulators/ ~/.BlackBoard

Running

This creates a zip file in /home/user-name /blackboard/dist/blackboard-bin-1.1.4.0.zip

So going back to your set of instructions this again wont work

Could you please advise

Thank you

Mark

It is quite annoying, that the layer, which is selected in the list, is not the one where new elements are added, but that there is an extra drop-down list for this selection. Additionally, this drop-down list is not sorted the same way as the list.

In the bottom section there is a link pointing to additional documentation on
https://www.pueski.de/bb/doc
but that only leads to a 404 Not Found message.

Instead, github pages are deployed on
http://mpue.github.io/blackboard/
which could help further users.

Hi

Having real problems after re compiling using 64 bit oracle java ver .1.8 on 64 bit ubuntu ver15.04 with rendering Strip board is repeated almost as though you have the layout with 4 or five java jpanels ^2 in main frame If you place any components then these are repeated as though you have 4_4 or 5|_5 panels operating at the same time this is dependant on the zoom as well Ive noticed

Its A Ok on 32 bit os and 32 bit java

Cheers Mark

e.g. sym_transistor_pnp.xml and sym_transistor_npn.xml don't have an image. There is a transistor.png.

Also the model has the wrong dimension and no pins on the backside.

After placing a "Straight Header 5x1 vertical" and pressing the [I] key to look at the raster card back, it shows a 3x2 header.

Error in Java launcher. Error occured while calling main method in Java class org/pmedv/blackboard/app/BlackBoard

On system Windows 7 64 bits. Java (JRE) 8 update 45 (build 1.4.5_45-b15).

Normally, the grid modes works just fine, but for some parts (eg mounting holes) I would love to set the position directly with exact coordinates in mm/cm.

A good place for this option would imho be the object properties dialogue, set the position in pix/mm like you can change the size for the strip board itself.

I accidentally created a line with a length of zero (checked in the xml, start and endpoint are the same coordinates) and can't delete.

Selection is possible, but everything further doesn't work. Neither 'del' nor the delete option in the right click menu work.

Hello all,

I am trying to compile and run this project but when I run this it is hanging at the following comment in the console: INFO PartTableModel:65 - Loading 391 parts.

I don't have experience in Java so not sure what is going on. I am running this on Windows. I have the git project downloaded in a folder on a partition but when I run it seems to be running from my user folder in windows partition.

Kindly let me know if I can provide any more information. I have pasted the log from the log folder below.

hi,

problem browse parts/ add 1w resistor not change vaule

Will you be making the corrective adjustments in line with the new JDK ? This is non operative with JDK 8 or 9 , or 10 Many of the jar files have been discontinued or ar no longer available for download Oracles new policies have discarded many of the jar files now needed for this to compile and run

Would you please put your downloaded file release section

https://github.com/mpue/blackboard/releases

instead of repo:
https://github.com/mpue/blackboard/tree/master/install

Documentation says: "Important : Copy the following directories to your $HOME/.BlackBoard Folder:
datasheets" (amongst others)

The directory "datasheets" is not available from the file 1374752251wpdm_blackboard-bin-1.1.0.zip

It is also not necessary to copy the directory in order to run BB.

If text at a raster card is edited, which was already rotated 90° cw, it is rotated one more 45° step. This happens at several but not all rotations.

I downloaded Blackboard Designer 1.1.0 (http://www.pueski.de/bb/blackboard-bin-1.1.0.zip). If I open the OSX_Start.command file I will get some error messages in the console (look into the attached file).

The application itself stops loading at "Loading module simulatorProvider".
I am using the following java version:

java version "1.8.0_131"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

error.txt

At least with Linux, when the system locale is not set to UTF-8, compilation with ant may fail with several of these error messages:

    [javac] /build/blackboard/src/blackboard_git/src/org/pmedv/core/util/StringUtil.java:229: error: unmappable character for encoding ASCII
    [javac]             text = text.replaceAll("??", "ae");

Setting the encoding to UTF-8 in build.xml will fix this issue.

Dear Matthias,

is it possible to add a name/description to self-created Symbols, like the ATMega328 has it?
